From Beirut, Rania Khalek reports on the chaos as Israel orders hundreds of thousands from the southern suburbs to evacuate, saying, “Israel is trying to empty out huge portions of Lebanon like never before.” As Israel intensifies its war on Iran, Lebanon faces escalating bombings, mass displacement, and the looming threat of invasion. “Israel is applying its ‘Gaza Doctrine’ to Iran, South Lebanon – they are totally unleashed with no red lines,” says Rania.
